Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Gulfstream G700

The Airbus H225 is a twin‑engine heavy helicopter, suited to vertical-lift missions rather than long-haul point‑to‑point travel. Its range is roughly 450–500 nautical miles depending on configuration, and it typically carries around 16–19 passengers (with higher-density layouts possible). The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet designed for intercontinental nonstop flying, with a range of about 7,700 nautical miles. Typical executive seating is around 14–19 passengers. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a long‑range large‑cabin business jet in a lower range class than the newest ultra‑long‑range jets, offering roughly 3,900 nautical miles of range and commonly seating about 13–14 passengers in executive layouts (up to 19 certified). The Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet comparable at the top of the market, with around 7,500 nautical miles of range and typical seating about 13–19 passengers (higher maximum capacity depending on certification and layout).
